Intro
G Em C G x2
VI
G Em Am G
I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do
G D C G
I've got one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you
G Em Am C G
Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ain't heard a word since
G Em C G
So I'll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind
G C G
All I've got is the radio and this empty distant sky
G
And Willie's singing somewhere over the rainbow
C G Em
But you, no you won't see the tears in my eyes
Chorus:
C G D
Before the night is gone
Em C G D Am Em
Won't you tell me our love will linger on?
Em G D C G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
Em C G
Cause I need someway to see.... in the dark
V2
G Em C G
Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true
G Em C G
The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few
G Em C G
We were looking for green grass and a warm and loving home
G Em C G
But we've got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones
G Em C G
When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds
G Em Am C G Em
Like the rivers from that point you'd go your way and I'd go mine
Chorus:
C G D
Before the night is gone
Em C G D Am Em
Won't you tell me our love will linger on?
Em G D C G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
Em C G
Cause I need someway to see.... in the dark
Instrumental G Em C G x4
V3
G Em C G
The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs
G Em C G
The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize
G Em C G
About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again
G Em C G
They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand
G Em C G
But babe you never will and that's why I love you still
G Em C G Em
No matter how far we drift apart You'll always have a piece of my heart
Chorus:
C G D
Before the night is gone
Em C G D Am Em
Won't you tell me our love will linger on?
Em G D C G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
Em C G
Cause I need someway to see.... in the dark
Outro
C D C D G Em
